Back to Scheduled Learning 2016

This is our second week of 'ramping up the subjects'  (translated =  clicking the subjects back on, a few at a time, as opposed to having our first week back  filled with all of the  hair-tearing  subjects we've elected to study during the year).
We always delay extra- curricular subjects for a few weeks; so things like music lessons, driving tuition,  etc.  won't start until the 4th week in Feb.
Other than mentioning a few books, I probably won't be detailing much of what Jay is doing this year; so most of the posts will just be *week ahead* posts for Daisy & myself.

Here's what we're reading and discussing:
